Teradata Manual Inputs

This page explains the specific structure and files accepted by this scanner. See Manta Flow Usage: Preparing Scanner Inputs for additional methods how to provide these inputs via Process Manager or Orchestration API. Check Ingest Source Support how to use Manta Agent to obtain input files from a remote machine or Git.

By default, Manta Flow extracts DDL scripts from configured Teradata databases and then analyzes the data flows in them. It is also possible to analyze the data flows in the BTEQ and TPT scripts that work with the configured database.

• Copy the BTEQ scripts to the <MANTA_DIR_HOME>/input/teradata/${teradata.dictionary.id}/bteq[/database_name] folder, where teradata.dictionary.id is the identification of the database (if not changed in the configuration) and database_name is an optional directory structure that gives IBM Automatic Data Lineage information about the default database for any unqualified references to database objects used in the scripts. Learn more about unqualified object references.

• Copy the TPT scripts to the <MANTA_DIR_HOME>/input/teradata/${teradata.dictionary.id}/tpt folder, where teradata.dictionary.id is the identification of the database (if not changed in the configuration).
